[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say they work in case their husband divorces them or dies.

My friend married since 2006 to his wife who actually was so anxious to be a stay at home quit work while they were engaged to help plan wedding and she moved in. Well since then they bought a new home worth now around 3 million. Have two cars, I know my friend who makes around 500K has made almost 10 million in salary during marriage. And he goes max 401k and does IRA for her and has 529s fully funded all three kids. Since marriage greater than 10 years she gets his SS. In divorce she is entitled to 1/2 at this point, plus alimony, child support and if he drops dead she gets it all plus his multimillion life insurance policy.

Why would she need to work? Do you really think her making 100K a year is even going to matter. She did not have a big job. At his age he has around 10 million invested he makes around 1-2 million a year just on dividends, interest and capital gains a lot of years.    [/quote]

I don’t know…there is a divorce with one of the Pritkers who has a net worth of several billion but it looks the wife will only end up with $10MM…all sorts of tricks you can employ to screw your spouse if you want including moving your assets into trusts and what not.

Sounds like the wife above isn’t super savvy…not to mention the person with lots of money can decide to just spend down the $$$s on lawyers if the divorce is acrimonious.  It’s crazy what lengths people will go to screw over a spouse.[/quote]
